Lots and Lots of Company

I was going to plan a birthday party for Clay and invite his friends from church and Caleb Gilson . This was going to take place yesterday. When I started talking about it Timothy took up the baton and ran, which is a habit I'm starting to get used to, and told everyone from the office that I was going to invite them as well.

Saturday evening we had a chili supper for QSI; 14 adults, 5 children including Caleb and Ivana's mother. It all went over very well. Sunday only one family with four sons could come for lunch. Their oldest son is 15 and Clay thinks the world of him. They took Clay upstairs and played in the family room all afternoon. We would go up there and peek every once in a while to see what was happening. At the end of the afternoon the room was completely picked up. It was amazing.

Our friends from the coast came up later with their two girls and spent the night. Thadeus is being touched and loved very much.

So far, the Saturday party was the only real party. He loved everyone was singing to him and was able to blow out one candle on his own. We've been practicing. Every present needed to be played with immediately and has been thoroughly enjoyed this weekend. Timothy and I forgot about some of the small things we bought for him so he can open them today on his real birthday.
